That's Awesome! While I agree we've heard words like that before, I don't know that we've ever heard a short timeframe like that. Usually it's something vague like 'this year' or 'early next year' followed by how many words he's written. Hear to hoping that this is the real thing!

DG, in a recent forum on Starcraft (no idea what it is) said that the Chtorr book is two months away, but that he has three other obligations to attend to first. I'm going to guess he means the completion of the book and not its release. We have heard these words before, but some hope is better than none at all.

Mr. G.s site is "alive" again.
Although I am dissappointed about the way MFM "progressed" in the last decade, Neil Gaiman wrote an insightful article in his blog about writers. I don't want to promote other websites but I think thinking of writers as humans is a good way to stay polite.

Agree-he started this series, got us hooked, and now doesn't seem to want to/be able to keep his end of the bargain and finish the thing.
I love the series so far, but I've given up dreaming that he will actually finish it. Not sure why he's spent time writing other stuff like that two book throwaway series he did a while back (can't remember what it was called).

Noticed that DG's website is now kaput. While there could be plenty of reasons for this, it is hard to spin this in a positive manner. Where in the world is DG?

Balderdash! There are any number of highly creative writers able and willing to finish the series. D.G. is simply not going to, so let's have someone else take a crack at it. It would be better than nothing, which is what D.G. has given his loyal readers for the last 16 years.

Gerrold or no one! This is, in my opinion, the most in depth sci-fi/fantasy series I have ever read, and that is because of the meticulous detail that DG has included through out. It would be almost impossible for anyone to step in and do the series justice; it is simply too complex at this point. The story is HIS, and while he can tell someone else how to operate the vehicle, he is the one who built it, and the only one who truly understands how all the pieces fit together to make it work.

Thanks for the post. I think that one has been on Wiki for a while. I remember the 1st time I saw it, I was pretty excited, but then you look at the ESTIMATED date. That's 2 years from now for a book that was supposed to be turned in to the publisher last October. IMO (and I know nothing about the publishing world) this sounds like a date pulled from someone's ass and slapped down on paper. I also suspect TOR knows this and that's why they won't confirm. I'm rooting for DG to finish still, so please keep the info coming if you see anything. Thx again.
